Local Knoxville Companies Innovating the Green Movement

Ever held a menu made up of 10 to 30% post consumer waste? If you’ve eaten at Ruby Tuesday’s lately then there’s a good chance you have.

The Maryville-based restaurant chain is putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to going green. AGreenRuby.com maps all of the new Earth friendly initiatives Ruby Tuesday is undertaking. The Knoxify crew sure would love a coffee mug with an ecological message on it. Wink-wink, nod-nod.

Purely Enterprises, another Knoxville-based company, is also taking green to new heights. They have developed a Purely Anion light bulb that claims to remove positive ions from your home or office. Sound crazy? Watch the video below for a demonstration.
